At the ceremony, employees of AEON Group companies from across Vietnam, including AEONMALL Vietnam Co., Ltd., AEON Vietnam Co., Ltd., and AEON Delight Vietnam Co., Ltd., joined hands to plant the first trees and seedlings. To spread this spirit, representatives from local authorities, Japanese organizations, the Quang Ninh Tourism Association, the Quang Ninh Young Entrepreneurs Association, the Quang Ninh Provincial Youth Union, as well as educational institutions in the area, including Hong Gai Primary School, Le Van Tam Secondary School, Bai Chay Primary School, Bai Chay Secondary School, Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary – Secondary – High School… also participate in the lively atmosphere of the Tree planting ceremony.

The participation of nearly 500 people, including employees, residents, students, and local organizations, reflects AEON Group and AEONMALL Vietnam’s aspiration to strengthen connections with local communities, contribute to the sustainable development and create a greener environment from the very beginning of the mall’s presence in the area. The trees planted will become part of the shared landscape, leaving a lasting mark for individuals who contributed to its creation.

Students will have the opportunity to take part in a meaningful hands-on activity to broaden their knowledge and foster a stronger sense of environmental responsibility and care for shared public spaces. For organizations and businesses, this is also an opportunity to connect, strengthen partnerships, and join hands in contributing to a cleaner and better living environment in the local community.

At the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Cong, Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh City People’s Committee, acknowledged and commended AEONMALL Vietnam for organizing the tree-planting activity ahead of the opening of AEON MALL Ha Long. He noted that the initiative demonstrated the company’s commitment to the community and the environment, aligned with the locality’s green and sustainable development goals, and reflected the investor’s long-term commitment to Quang Ninh.

He also shared that, as of the end of September 2026, Japan had 23 investment projects in Quang Ninh, with total registered capital exceeding USD 2.8 billion, ranking second among the countries and territories investing in the locality. In this context, AEON MALL Ha Long is a significant project for the city’s commercial infrastructure, contributing to consumer spending, creating jobs, and offering residents and visitors a modern shopping and lifestyle destination.

Highlighting the significance of the tree-planting activity, Mr. Nguyen Van Cong stated: “The trees planted today carry symbolic meaning. What we are nurturing together is a culture of responsibility towards the community, trust in our partnership, and a better future for generations to come.”

Mr. Isobe Daisuke, General Director of AEONMALL Vietnam Co., Ltd., emphasized that the tree-planting activity was not simply about increasing green coverage, but also reflected AEONMALL Vietnam’s desire to build a long-term relationship with the local community and grow together with the city.

“The trees planted today may still be small, but in five, ten, or twenty years, they will gradually mature, creating green spaces and shade, and becoming part of Ha Long’s urban landscape. AEON MALL Ha Long also hopes to grow alongside these trees, building a lasting connection with and developing together with the local community,” Mr. Isobe Daisuke shared.

He also affirmed that, alongside tree planting, AEONMALL Vietnam would continue to promote energy-saving solutions, the use of renewable energy, and efficient water resource management, with the goal of developing an environmentally friendly shopping mall. AEON MALL Ha Long is expected to become more than just a shopping destination; it also aims to serve as a community hub where families, friends, and people of different generations can meet, connect, and share everyday experiences.

Nearly 7,000 trees of various species suited to the local natural conditions are being planted in the areas surrounding AEON MALL Ha Long, helping create a harmonious landscape and establish green spaces in the area. Under the message “Spark the Green Waves,” the event marks the beginning of a greener journey towards a more sustainable future.
